Delicious but be aware ---
Although I personally loved this dish, my husband had a difficult time with it due to the heat (spicy.) I've never eaten Peruvian food before so I had no idea this dish was going to be spicy before purchasing it. Nevertheless, it's definitely a delicious dish worth trying if you love spicy foods!

Bland and not tasty
I agree with the surprisingly few other reviews that said how bland this was. It was spicy, yes, but not flavorful at all. In fact, my husband and I both thought the flavor was completely unappetizing. We've liked the other meal kits we've gotten and are well traveled with sophisticated palates so that's not the issue; this was just not good.

Perfect Cold Season Comfort Food
My husband called it glorified hot dish (in a good way). I prepared a low-meat version, with one cup diced rotisserie chicken, a can of Peruvian canary beans, and a can of corn, served red and purple fingerling potatoes on the side, and garnished with fresh cilantro. Half my plate disappeared before I remembered to snap a photo.

Good
We enjoyed this meal. Be sure to add the extra liquid they suggest as it will be quite thick if you do not. Good flavor even though ours was thick. :smiley:
As with the other kits we’ve tried, very generous portions! We will definitely be ordering more kits to try!

Meh
It was not terrible. I felt like it was one note, and kind of bland. I added more pepper paste than called for, but it was still pretty mild once it was mellowed with the milk and cheese. The olives served as garnish gave me a little pop of flavor the primary dish was missing. I think it needs something tart or slightly bitter to un-bore it.

Bland
I'm not sure how this got great reviews, it really didn't have much flavor at all. We found it very bland (even with spiciness) and ended up throwing our leftovers out. Very disappointing.

Just really good
Easy to prepare even for a beginner cook like me. The Peruvian yellow pepper paste, combined with the milk and Parmesan cheese is quite tasty. I enjoyed. (I also like the Shakshuka.)

Not my favorite so far, but still delicious and easy!
I've never had Peruvian food before, and there aren't any Peruvian restaurants in my state. I love that Takeout Kit gives me the opportunity to try foods from other countries so easily. The instructions were very easy to follow. It wasn't my favorite kit out of the ones I've tried, but it was still delicious.

AWESOME
I had never tried yellow pepper paste before, and I'm so glad I ordered this kit because now I have! I'm not usually much of a spice person but for some reason I really like this kind - the burning doesn't seem to last as long on my tongue compared to other peppers. Eating it with cheese and milk probably helps. I did the no-protein option and threw in leftover shredded turkey, and that worked great. The garlic rice is also wonderful. After I used up the jar that came with this kit, I hunted down more aji amarillo in a local specialty store so we could make this again. Definitely recommend it.

Or PYP 3-Bean/Chickless Strips
As vegetarians I ordered add-your-own protein and the first time around used drained and well-rinsed cans of pinto, black and kidney beans as well as subbing vegetable broth for the enclosed chicken broth. It worked a treat and was so delicious. Of course I used too much yellow pepper paste (1/2 the jar) for my husband’s taste although he loved the flavor. The second go round-Gardein vegan chicken-free strips and 1/4 of the jar and while still too spicy for my husband, Hokey Smokes! So good! A note about the garlic rice- I taste it in my dreams; if I could, I would take a bath in it.

Peruvian Chicken was great!
I used rotisserie chicken with this. It was creamy and yummy. Watch out for the hot pepper paste , as it packs a whollop! You can always add more. It made great leftovers as well!

Absolutely Fantastic!
As true to authentic as you can get! My kiddos and I were most pleasantly surprised by not only the amount of the ingredients, but by the amazing quality and freshness of everything in the kit. We will definitely be repeat shoppers!

Great food :)
AMAZING aji de gallina - tasted fantastic :) Directions could have been a bit better - it showed the pre-rice being cooked in a skillet but then the rice in a deeper sauce pan but didn't specify to use a skillet or a saucepan so my rice was crunchy and my husband teased me about cooking each segment in the wrong type of pan ha ha. BUT TOTALLY TOTALLY worth it; will be buying more and will make this meal again using the remaining aji amarillo in the package.

This was a WOW
We ordered this Perucian dish without the chicken and added our own protein (shrimp). It was absolutely delicious.
